For my peeps who are also stuck on the infertility treatment ladder/rollercoaster:

I am proud to say that I am already a mother. I just haven't met my child yet. I have already been a mother to five beautiful embryos, celebrated their blessed creation and each intricate cell division, and mourned the losses when each decided that he or she was unable to stay on this Earth. I am a nurturer, a caregiver, and a role model for the many children in my life (none of whom happen to be ...

*Warning may be TMI*

Well, I tried Pre-seed for the first time this week. For those of you who are not aware of what it is, it is a fertility friendly lubricant that can be used during BDing. It is reported that KY and other lubs can kill sperm and should not be used while TTC.

It comes it a tube with several applicators and is found at Walgreens, CVS, Target, and online (Amazon). It will run you a little over $20 at each location.

So the ...

My furbaby has nurtured me through many hard times, including 13 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVF cycles. She taught me how to meditate and how to stay in the moment when anxiety strikes. She taught me how to stretch, how to nap, and how to enjoy... REALLY enjoy simple pleasures. I owe her so much more than I can ever repay.

I was talking with my vet on the phone about establishing a timeline cutoff for my Furbaby's nausea to stop before taking her to the emerg clinic and possibly ...

So I got a BFN for my FET with my last 2 eggies.

Now I have a new plan of action:

TTC naturally April, May, & June (and if not luck)

IVF in July

I am praying that I can get pregnant within those 3 months. I have my HSG exam scheduled tomorrow morning to make sure that the tube is still open. This will give me a 3 month fertility boost!
I am still hopeful and very much positive about the situation.

*But, still ...

*Preparation: Drinking Raspberry green tea, regular green tea, and milk. Pineapple core, drinking water at room temperature.

Cycle Day 2: Feb, 21, 2013 Baseline Sono everything good. Dr. Le was in surgery so he could not do the Sono. Nurse Christy did it instead.

Follow the Light
I remember when I found a doctor that would finally listen.
After being rejected by at least 4 doctors, I found him.
When everyone else told me to cut both tubes out, he told me he would try to save them.
In return, I felt like he was truly saving me from the sorrow.

Never did I want to give up the hope that I could get pregnant "naturally"
There was a voice in my head telling me to not listen to the doctors,

I have always hovered but I actually joined today and looking forward to meeting some girls that understand!!

HELLLOOOO!

Wow. 5 years ago would I have ever dreamed that I'd be doing my second round of IVF after 13 IUIs and laparascopic removal of endo, choosing to pay for meds and treatment instead of fixing a leaky basement and aging roof, with my mood/sleeping in shambles but my marriage somehow strangely stronger than it ever was before...

Positive thinking: the endo removal could be the miracle cure that we needed for this to finally work. We are DUE for our miracle. God knows we've done our ...
